>As I have often noted, facts are facts.
If you can’t face them, then that is your problem.<
You’re the one who brought up pride being a sin, not me.
Truth: 1 Corinthians 5: 9-12
I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters.
In that case you would have to leave this world.
But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church?
Its not pride, its precision :)
Cool, then. If they can be carried and used from a helicopter or a small plane, it makes sense.
As I told you many times, I don’t need any Scripture lessons from a liberal “cleric”.
Next you’ll be telling me that the Bible approves of homosexuality.
Well, I am many things, Filipino is one of them. But would it shock you to find a superior Filipino? I assure ypu they are out there. But Filipinos are, on the whole, a modest people.
Unlike the Spanish :)
Filipinos in the US, median household income - $104,695
Whites - $ 73,594
they even beat the Chinese - 101,534
Wiki, but data is from the Census,

Would you then take scripture lessons from a vastly stricter “cleric”?
“Why are so many people leaving the United Methodist Church?"
"One of the dominant Christian denominations in the U.S., the United Methodist Church, is experiencing a major split. Since 2019, more than 7,000 congregations have received approval to leave the church. The factions have disagreements in theology, namely how the church considers LGBTQ+ ministers and congregants.”
I dont know on what basis these warheads are deemed non functional and the article doesn’t say.
If they are simply over-aged and deemed unusable, and not somehow dismantled, the Ukrainians may just use them as is. The Canadians may be too picky but the Ukrainians probably aren’t. Both sides have long been using overaged ammo from disparate sources.
True.
Many clergy and congregations are de-affiliating from the UMC.
My theological stance is not liberal.
>My theological stance is not liberal.<
Not true...especially when it comes to LBGTQWXYZ.
I don’t think the article said the warheads were nonfunctional and neither did I FWIW.
It did say that out of the 80,000 rockets only 8,000 had warheads.
Yes, and it still says to judge those within the church.
And amazing how you can find the whole thing here but not in post 15.
Why is that?
“As I told you many times, I don’t need any Scripture lessons from a liberal “cleric”.”
Once again your proclamations and judgements are imprudent and made in error.
The UMC Church my wife and I were going to had an incredible pastor. He was basically forced out because of his conservative views. He had been a military chaplain for many years. His replacement is a good guy as well, but my wife and I are still very disappointed in the way that the previous pastor was treated and have stopped going there.
The liberals in the congregation “won”, but we had the freedom to leave and find a more conservative group to worship with.
I am an American. My country is being invaded by terrorists and barbarians from Third World countries who are pouring in through our intentionally unsecure borders.
Making sure these illegals have money, housing, food, healthcare, educations, clothing, etc., is more important to my government than helping my Brother Vets and me, as is securing Ukraine's border and funding their corrupt government.
